Seventeen-year-old Miley’s new video — in which she crawls around on a bed — and is groped by a guy as she dances in itsy-bitsy hot pants and a plunging, backless camisole, has FINALLY provoked official parental condemnations.

“It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one,” Tim Winter, the president of the PTC, told TMZ. “It sends messages to her fan base that are dramatically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly,” Winter concluded.

Well Miley — we hate to say “I told you so,” but we here at HollywoodLife.com have been disappointed for months that you’ve chosen the route of sexualizing yourself to “sell” the new, non-teen image you’re after.

Why this helps your career is a true headscratcher. Your Hannah Montana fans don’t get it, their parents don’t like it, and, frankly, are women in their 20s and 30s really flocking to be your fans? That’s a big question mark.
